As a clinician I strive to provide a non-judgemental space where individuals, couples, and families can feel a sense of safety, comfortability and confidence exploring and processing difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions, and identifying healthy and effective strategies for managing and balancing life's challenges
In the 10+ years I’ve been practicing I have worked with a multitude of diverse populations in a variety of settings. I currently serve adults who are working through trauma, addiction, PTSD, anxiety, relationship issues, abuse, neglect, and/or matters pertaining to foster care and adoption. I frequently utilize and am certified in therapeutic techniques including but not limited to Psychotherapy, Art Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, CBT, and DBT.
I look forward to learning more about your needs and goals for treatment.
